Spending the day looking under rocks in a creek is a FINE way to spend a day, IMHO.
I agree…I’ve actually done it. lol I lived in Franklin, NC for a while and we used to look for arrowheads after it rained. Great way to spend the day.
We look for nails in the dirt roads after a rain…

That said, with all the ambient light around here, it’s very hard to see the stars at night. I used to drive to a nearby golf course to watch events like the Perseid shower, but they gated the place after some kids vandalized the greens. I think I need to move to someplace away from town.
